Description - Largely renovated in recent years, the barn presents elevations of stone and render beneath a corrugated tin roof. The floor within the ground floor is stone, there are exposed stone panels within attractive brick quoins to the door apertures. There is a new timber floor between the ground and first floor with step ladder leading from one to the other. Planning permission has been granted under North Devon Council Planning Reference. 75858 for conversion of the existing building into a unrestricted residential dwelling. The proposed property would be two storey and incorporate on the ground floor open plan living room/kitchen with staircase rising to first floor where there would be two bedrooms and a bathroom. Latest documentation relating to the application can be viewed on the North Devon Planning Website using the aforementioned planning reference for access. Externally it is proposed that there will be a new gated access on to the lane, there will be a garden curtilage and proposed parking bays for two vehicles. The remainder of the ground will be laid to grass with a small copse. Immediately adjacent there is potential to purchase additional acreage sufficient to support a horse or two or possibly to enjoy the 'good life' and certainly to protect the wonderful outlook.

Additional Land (Lot 2) - There is an option to purchase additional land as seen on our supporting plan (LOT 2) please speak with the selling agent in order to understand the full detail.

Services - We understand that a private water supply is already on site but this will need upgrading [Borehole estimated at £5,000], mains electricity is nearby, likely cost to bring on site, circa £5,000 and the proposed drainage will be to a private Bio-Digester.

Directions - If approaching from the A361 North Devon Link Road, follow the A399 in a northerly direction towards Ilfracombe, passing above the village of Brayford and following the main road to the Four Cross Way junction. Turn right at this junction, signed Challacombe and take the next turn right signposted Fullaford. Follow this road for about 1 mile and the gated access to the barn can be seen on the right hand side as you climb the hill.
